To implement your APEX application into another website (for example an intranet) then you need to use the following iframe script in the html body section:iframe src="YOUR_SERVER/pls/otn/f?p=APP_ID:PAGE_ID:SESSION_ID:::::" width="400" frameborder="0" height="150" frameborder="0"

I would like to give a workaround about how to add screen casts into your APEX application.

Last month I got second place at the first ORACLE-APEX-AWARD in Germany and one of the optional requirements was a screen cast for a help system in the application.Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to integrate it into my application.After the competition I followed the interesting aspect about screen casts and the integration into APEX.

Here an example how to do it:

1. Create a new template page without any logos

Go “Shared Components” > Templates

Copy the “Printer Friendly” page and give a new template name like “Help_Page”

Edit the Template “Help_Page” > In the Body area there should be a value like: valign="top">#LOGO##REGION_POSITION_06#

Take away the value #LOGO#: valign="top">#REGION_POSITION_06#

2. Create a new empty page3. Inside the new page go > edit page attributes > Display Attributes > Page Template > set “Help_Page”4. Add this under the HTML Body Attributes (this will make the connection between your file and the page):

5. Upload the Flash file (.swf)

Shared Components > Static Files > Create

Browse > choose the *.swf file > Open

6. Add a new Navidation Bar and at the second page you need these values:
